Really excited to see Tanstack enter the local-first tooling space. I skimmed the code base and docs, but I don't see any mention of offline support or client side databases (indexeddb or sqlite in opfs). Can I assume offline support is out of the scope for this project?

Any plans for AMD GPU support? Maybe I'm missing something, but it's not working out of the box on a 7900xtx.

Harvard just earned some reputation with me. It was already a place with great research. But now, it is also in institution with actual moral fiber.
oehtXRwMkIs · a year ago
I don't know, is it moral to give legitimacy and a platform to someone like J. Mark Ramseyer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Mark_Ramseyer)? Less clear example would be keeping around Roland Fryer.

Or not, since they recently added FSRS as an alternative.

How do they account for variation in demographics of the user bases and the potential that Instagram is also promoting/demoting certain types of content?
oehtXRwMkIs · 2 years ago
In the paper they use a ratio defined by comparing a hashtag's popularity on TikTok vs on Instagram. So it accounts for Instagram's biases since they're comparing to them. Not sure if that's what you're asking.

I'm surprised I don't recognize a single one of these companies. Isn't YC most famous for companies like AirBNB, Reddit, Twitch, Instacart, Dropbox, Doordash, etc. all things I use and that broke into pop culture? Or is that entirely from pre-Altman era and now it's just all tools for developers?

You've never heard of GitLab? I also listen to a lot of podcasts and Retool/ShipBob ads are probably 2% of my total lifetime listening time

more of an oversimplification. polar bonds interact with EM field of microwave oven.

water is one of many thousands of compounds having polar bonds

oehtXRwMkIs · 3 years ago
That doesn't sound like resonance to me, which is about constructive interference and natural frequencies. So more of an inaccuracy I think.

Correct. The reason why microwaves can cook food isn't the fact that it is a microwave frequency. Microwaves ovens cook by flipping the polarity back and forth. The frequency emitted is the same resonant frequency as water molecules, so the water molecules attempt to align constantly to the ever changing polarity. Movement is heat; thus, the water heats the food.

I've heard the resonance with water explanation is a common misconception: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/150128/how-do-mi...

NYT isn't the right place to read much these days. Just a bunch of old racist/transphobic neo-liberal trust fund babies writing nonsense. There are many more higher quality leftist oriented websites.

accrual · 3 years ago
I'm glad to see this and it will be interesting to see the trends in a week or two when presumably some of the "Reddit fire" dies down a bit.

Personally I've been pretty happy using Kbin as a substitute, and I contribute a little more than I usually would in the hopes of attracting more mass to the Fediverse, like some kind of Federated gravity.

oehtXRwMkIs · 3 years ago
I think it'll also be interesting to see in several years. old.reddit.com and mobile web reddit might be killed off by then, resulting in another spike in migrations. And there might be enough content in the threadiverse by then for it to possibly enter its own golden age like the bacon narwhal age of reddit back in the day.

Although in this optimistic future I'm worried that search engines will be much worse, with a completely closed off Reddit (like e.g. Facebook groups) and a fragmented anti-crawler threadiverse (like the fediverse now).
